Noise (A Parody)

I hate noise.

The creak of a door, the groan of the floor,

The cawing of a seagull down by the shore,

The drip of a faucet, the drop of a pin,

The babbles of men who have had too much gin,

The screeking of nails on a chalkboard at school,

The squeek of a mouse, a splash in the pool,

The squealing of tires, a dog's howl at night,

Two teen-aged girls in the middle of a fight,

The roar of a plane, a rock band playing live,

The blare of car horns in traffic around five -

Any old noise that the silence distroys

Arises a gamut that irks and annoys.

I hate noise.

God's World

i watch: as the beauty of the outdoors flows freely in the wind. the sun has set, the day is gone. far from the noise of the street car and the bus is the noise pure and clean that only God could create, and all the wonder that lays beyond, the moon is far up in the sky and it has waved farwell to the moon. this is what i see.
